[Elecraft] Contrast and compare...

[Bill NY9H]

The DZ transceiver was at Dayton two years ago. Had a booth back by 
the GM exhibit. As I recall their manual was an exact look a like of 
the old Heathkit manual.
The set was a busy looking set, but with a pile of "feature/benefits" 
including I believe a second receiver option. Interesting the PA 
board picture does have a  copywrite date of 2007.

Glad to see they are still alive....and as Lyle says  we have another 
American effort in the HF biz. They did have spec sheets two years ago...

Let's all wish them success....

I already have my compliment of K2s ,a K3 and a big Icom ..
I am DONE SHOPPING.
